I love this little condo so much. The view is from the third floor and overlooks the front of entrance of the condominium. Sara has many mirror decorations and I really appreciated that. I did find myself wishing for a full body mirror though. At one point i removed one of the rectangular mirrors off the wall and just set it on the floor. When I left, I gently hung it back up.
The walls are a little thin but it didn’t seem like there I had very many during my stay. The futon is not the most comfortable but it doubles as a bed so it does serve a purpose. The accent pillows are a great touch and really helped make the futon a little more inviting.
The kitchen is sufficient. A switch in the cabinet above the stove controls the power for the stove top. The stove top is a little confusing to use but not impossible. I didn’t find myself liking it too much so I just used the electric kettle for hot water if I was making noodles.
There are blackout curtains in the bedroom, seriously the most amazing blackout curtains. I would have to sleep with a tiny crack in the curtains or else I wouldn’t wake up until 2 pm the next day!!
The bathroom doesn’t have any outlets so I frequently did my hair and used the blow dryer in the bedroom. There isn’t a lot of counter space but I just made use of the toilet tank lid.
The wifi has great download and upload speed. Sara did not cheap out on this one! It appreciated it so much. I was able to have web interviews, stream shows and connect multiple devices without any bandwidth issues.
The location of this condo is not too bad. It is in between the BTS stations, On Nut and Phra Khanong. Walking to Phra Khanong is closer and the better choice because there is a large highway to On Nut. Right before the block that has the station entrance for the BTS @ Phra Khanong, is a giant T- intersection. The left-turning vehicles don’t stop for you so you really have to be vigilant or you’ll never make it across the road. There is also a stair bridge right before this intersection if you would rather avoid the traffic. This walk is about 5 minutes.
If you don’t want to walk, on the corner of Soi Sukhumvit 48 (as you exit the condo, past security, turn right) there are motorbike taxi’s in the orange vests all day long till about 8 pm. They will gladly drive you over to this BTS stop for 20 baht. There is also a little local food court directly across from the motorbike taxi hangout spot. The Khao Man Gai here is served with great portions. I really enjoyed it.
The pool on the 19th floor.... amazing. The gym on the other hand, is not very big but there are free weights which was nice.
